Shane Kippel is now on "Combat Hospital", the series premiered tonight on ABC.highlights tonight included him talking about loving the Dropkick Murphys and him lifting his shirt to show a creepy red rash/burn/bruise

As the subject line says I'm joining as a move I really don't want to make but I'm begging anyone, does anyone remember 24Seven? I loved this show and though its been gone for over 10 years it was back when The-N actually was worth watching.

I had met so many people but since its been off air we've all dissipated but I still loved the show and recently got the full series on DVD from iOffer since it won't come to DVD.

So anyone remember? Once I get a response or not I will be leaving this comm most likely I just need to know if anyone still remembers this brilliant British show!

Is Beyond the Break going to return with another season? I sure hope so cause i'm looking forward to the conclusion of lacey and the other surders.. I hate it when they cancel shows right after a good season finale.

My brother was watching Degrassi earlier, and I walked in during a commercial break to learn that the-n is showing Full House. Yay, I love some uncle Jesse. But that it's also changing it's name? To the new TNick?

Fail.

How is Degrassi still alive, let alone on this channel? It's "edgy" subject matters are really out of place with all the 90s sitcoms.

Has anyone else noticed how degrassi: tng has been recycling several of its plots throughout the series?

e.g.

manny got pregnant but had an abortion in season 3. subsequently, liberty gets pregnant and gives the baby up for adoption. Mia was pregnant before she came to degrassi and was on the show, but we see her with Isabella in numerous episodes

paige is raped but doesn't tell anyone soon enough to press charges, and a few seasons later darcy is also raped but does not tell anyone either.

darcy contracts chlamydia after she's raped by the unidentified assailant, just as emma got gonorrhea from jay after having sex with him in the ravine a couple seasons earlier, when he also potentially gave it to Amy and Alex.

jimmy got shot in the back by Rick who was then inadvertently shot and killed by Sean when he was trying to protect himself and his friends in season 4, and then in season 7 JT was shot stabbed and killed by two lakehurst students.

on the very first two episodes of the series, emma talks to "jordan" online, and they decide to meet. jordan turns out to be an e-stalker, just like the one who found darcy and followed her home when they chatted online in season 6.

Jimmy and Spinner's t-shirt shop was robbed and Spinner saved Jimmy. Just this past Friday, The Dot was robbed at gunpoint while Spinner and Holly J were working there.

Marco, Paige, Alex, Dylan, Riley, and Ashley's dad are all gay (or at least bi), which is fine, it's just that I don't think homosexuality is that common amongst a small group of friends.

At one point or another, for whatever reason, Ashley, Jimmy, Spinner, AND Sean ALL got held back.

Snake got Leukemia in season 3, then Spinner got testicular cancer in season 8, and worried that he was going to die because his dad, who had lung cancer, died. I know they're all different cancers, but how many times can you play the cancer card in one series?

Craig and Ashley in season 4 got engaged and then in season 7, Jay and Manny got "Fake engaged" which turned into a real engagement, and subsequently broke up about three times after that.

not that any of these storylines were original to begin with, but to reuse them within the same series shows a serious lack of creativity. Not to mention they're all playing musical relationships with each other; they've all dated almost everyone at the school at one point or another. Some of the characters go out with the same person as many times as an average person would be in with DIFFERENT people, e.g. Alex and Paige, Jimmy and Ashley, Spinner and Darcy, and Manny and Craig. And the show's producers try to turn the entire cast into musicians and it just doesn't work for some of them.

If this is a representation of the entire school, 1 out of every 7 students gets pregnant, 1 out of roughly 10 have an STD and about 1 in every 15 or so get shot/stabbed. I don't know too many schools where this extreme frequency of these events is a reality. It is for some schools, but that's a very small fraction. I know it's not a reality for me or anyone I know. Maybe Canada is different. :p

even so, I do enjoy the show. It's almost comical how formulaic it is! But I really hate the new season with lakehurst students being passed off as degrassi kids...but I'm going to watch Degrassi Goes Hollywood next Friday!
